EPISODE 078: TO EACH HIS NIGHTMARE (S04E22 "Restless")
“I walk. I talk. I shop. I sneeze. I’m gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There’s trees in the desert since you moved out, and I don’t sleep on a bed of bones. Now give me back my friends”
In the finale of Season 4 and the aftermath of their primal enjoining spell, the Scoobies are stalked through their dreams by the spirit of a death unnamed and a grief unending - the First Slayer. The Buffy Boys will by firemen when the floods roll back in S04E22 "Restless".
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
Death of the auteur and the reclaimed queer resilience of found family
Rightful trauma - integrating loss as strength in the Slayer line
You Can't Go Home Again: dreamscapes and the uncanon of the heroine's journey
"Why is there a cowboy in 'Death of a Salesman' anyway?"
